So I felt a bit sick this past weekend. It began innocently enough with a few sneezes that I instantly blamed on the hay that I sat on throughout a music festival. But alas, the next day it was a full blown cold. I dealt with it, giving it all kinds of immune boosting support. [...]
I am so thankful for yoga and for teaching yoga. It is my saving grace right now as I juggle many balls in the air right now. But I always come back to yoga as my grounding force. There is just one more very important grounding force in my life - LOVE.Where is your ground, [...]
We enjoyed such a yummy practice on Tuesday. Led by the muy bonita Carmen, we traveled to the pyramids, soaked in this warming loving color and left floating on a cloud. I hope the Relaxation Response stayed with each of your throughout the rest of the day and into the next.The PalmingThe eyes have it [...]

It was a bittersweet class yesterday. I know that I need a short break from teaching restorative but I will miss this group of wonderful students ever so much. Some of you go to my regular classes but there is something very special about the group coming together in a restorative practice. I have seen [...]
